Ex Test Engineer at Protechsoft - Software Test Engineer Protechsoft Technologies Employee Review

There is a lot of scope to learn the technologies when you are starting your career. A lot of opportunities to gain knowledge on Javascript and SQL. Work-life balance is pretty much ok. If you show you have the stuff, there are lot of chances to get noticed and it aids in growing your career within the company.

No career growth and no growth compensation wise as well. There is no standard appraisal process. Lot of internal politics as well affects the growth.

There are no discernible advantages.

Please trust reviews who are going to join in this company.I lost my job within three months of joining. After I was selected, they called it “training,” but it didn’t feel like proper training at all. For 10 days, we were just told to study on our own, and then they conducted exams. As a fresher, I had many doubts, but no one was there to guide or clarify them. It was a very stressful and frustrating experience. Startups are often said to be good for learning, but in this company, they treated freshers as if we were already highly experienced, like IIT graduates. Instead of helping us grow, they created constant pressure. There was no proper support system, and the work environment felt very restrictive — even basic things like internet access on desktops were not allowed, and we couldn’t freely discuss problems with teammates. During the training period, they conducted multiple tests and expected freshers to score 100%. Even scoring 99% was considered unacceptable. In one test with 10 questions, I answered 9 correctly, but I still received a warning letter for “low performance.” When I asked my team lead, they said I took too much time to complete the test — even though I finished it within one hour. The environment felt very toxic, and employees were treated poorly, almost like slaves. There was no job security, and the pressure was constant. To make things worse, the actual salary paid was only about half of what was promised in the CTC. Now, I am left without a job or meaningful experience from that role.
